I believe the Admiral of the SS Oldsmobile quote is incomplete. I believe his statement was, "There shouldn't be one law for the rich and powerful and one for the masses! But there is, fortunately, and you little people will just have to deal with it!!".
(I don't recall whether I heard that before or after he managed to have his late mother declared a Florida resident so her will would be probated there, though she hadn't been out of MA in about 12 years.)
